Making the Christmas Tree:

First, we painted the cup green. We weren’t too worried about covering the whole cup or doing a second coat like we did in the Starlit Night in a Cup craft.

We let the paint dry before moving on.

Next, we poked holes into the cup with a toothpick. These are where the “lights” show through.

Time to decorate the tree. We used sequins, glitter, and a gold paint pen to make ornaments. THe possibilities are endless here!

We made a star for the top of the tree using a chenille stem. A simple way to do this was to draw a star on a piece of paper to use as a guide. We used the remaining part of the stem to stick into the top of the cup.

Another idea to make a star would be to cut one out of yellow or gold paper, and use the chenille stem to attach it to the top of the cup.

After the glue dries, it’s time to make the tree light up. To do this, we simply turned on the flameless tea light and put the cup over it.

And that’s it! A pretty, light up Christmas tree craft that was simple and fun to make!
